Installation of Balance Tanks at Campau Park, Highland Park,
and Lincoln Park Swimming Pools
On June 2, 1998 (Commission Proceeding No. 64750) the City entered into an agreement with
Capital Consultants Engineers (now referred to as Capital Consultants, Inc. – Capital) to provide
professional services in connection with Aquatic Projects at Campau, Highland, and Lincoln
Parks. On March 30, 1999 (Commission Proceeding No. 65778) the aforesaid agreement was
amended (effective February 28, 1999) to expand/revise the scope of the original agreement to
include the following projects:
New outdoor swimming pools at:
Campau Park
Highland Park
Lincoln Park
Large water playgrounds at:
Aberdeen Park
Mulick Park
Wading pool conversions to small water playgrounds at:
Alger Park School
Cherry Park
Ken-O-Sha Park School
Mary Waters Park
Sigsbee Park School
New small water playground at:
Oakdale Park School
On August 10, 1999 (Commission Proceeding No. 66254) the City awarded a contract to Cycon
Enterprises, Inc. for the Construction of Swimming Pools at Campau, Highland, and Lincoln
Parks. These pools opened in the summer of 2000. The Parks and Recreation Department
(Parks Department) had difficulty in operating the pools in compliance with Michigan Department
of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) standards during the first two swim seasons. At the end of the
2002 swim season, the MDEQ informed the City that the surge suppression for these pools did
not meet MDEQ standards. As a result, the MDEQ issued provisional permits for the operation
of these pools for the 2003 and 2004 swim seasons. The Parks Department had a concern
regarding Capital’s design services as it relates to the issues raised by the MDEQ, and withheld
approximately $11,000 in fees due Capital from the original project.
The Parks Department has worked with Capital in an effort to resolve this matter, and Capital's
recommendation to address the MDEQ’s concern is to replace the current piping configuration
with balance tanks at these pools. Capital has reviewed this matter with the Parks Department
as well as B & B Pool Service and Supply Company (B & B Pool), the subcontractor that performed the original work. At the request of Capital, B & B Pool has completed plans for the
above-captioned project (Installation of Balance Tanks at Campau Park, Highland Park, and
Lincoln Park Swimming Pools, hereinafter referred to as the “Project”) and MDEQ has
approved the same for this recommended solution.
Initially, staff coordinated the preparation of an agreement with the City Attorney’s Office and
Capital which was to set forth the conditions under which the Project would proceed, and
Capital’s insurer would pay for the costs of the Project. Under this scenario, Capital’s insurer
was also to pay for the design services by Capital and B & B Pool, as well as Capital’s construction phase services. However, Capital’s attorney recently indicated that Capital’s insurer had
concerns about the agreement and the terms and conditions of the same. Staff reviewed this
matter with the City Attorney’s Office, resulting in a determination to proceed with the Project
without the benefit of an agreement with Capital due to the time frame required to complete the
Project. At this time, based on discussions between MDEQ staff and Parks Department staff,
MDEQ has indicated that if the City has the Project under contract and is able to complete the
work at two of the pools prior to the opening of the pools for the 2005 season and complete the
work at the other pool later in the fall, MDEQ would issue a permit for all three pools for the 2005
season.
As a result of an impasse in reaching an agreement with Capital and the need to move the
Project forward, staff retained the services of Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber, Inc. (FTCH)
pursuant to its existing term contract to provide design engineering and construction engineering/
inspection services for the Project. FTCH’s services include the review of the design/construction documents, development of performance specifications, and construction engineering/
inspection services as well as review/approval of shop drawings as the Project proceeds through
construction. The attached resolution provides for the approval of a contract which includes
certain performance criteria with B & B Pool for the Project in an amount of $156,500 with total
expenditures not to exceed $205,300, which includes the costs of the contract including
allowances for plan/shop drawing development, site restoration/remediation and additional
pressure testing, design engineering and construction engineering/inspection services by FTCH
including sub-consultant services and reimbursable expenses, testing, administration, and an
approximate fifteen percent allowance for contingencies.
This Project is being financed by the Capital Improvement Fund for which a budget amendment
is necessary. The City Attorney’s Office will pursue the reimbursement of the costs associated
with the Project from Capital and/or its insurer.

for Various Projects
On December 22, 1998 (Commission Proceeding No. 65472) the City approved an agreement
with Geotech, Inc. (Geotech) for the above-captioned services for a three-year period, reserving
the option for the City to extend the agreement as deemed appropriate. On December 18, 2001
(Commission Proceeding No. 69430) the City approved an extension of the agreement with
Geotech for the time period through December 31, 2004. The aforesaid actions included
approval of expenditures in a total amount of $600,000. At the time that the City entered into
this agreement, it was noted that it may be necessary to approve additional funding in the event
that the number and/or requirements of the projects necessitated the same. On August 5, 2003
(Commission Proceeding No. 71467) the City approved an increase in expenditures in an
amount of $300,000 due to the increase in the number of projects requiring these services.
Also, additional expenditures were approved on a project-by-project basis during the period of
service for this agreement. Geotech is a local professional engineering firm, and has specialized
knowledge of the City’s telecommunications, video/networking, and fiber optic control systems.
At this time, it is recommended that the agreement with Geotech be extended for an additional
one-year period, including an increase of approximately three percent in Geotech’s rates for
various staff positions.
The attached resolution provides for the approval of an extension of the aforesaid agreement
with Geotech through December 31, 2005, with an increase in Geotech’s rates as referenced
herein. These services are provided on an as-needed basis, and the cost will be financed from
the various project budgets for which these services are required. Staff is in the process of
developing request for proposals for various engineering services, and the provision of
electrical engineering services will be included as a part of that overall effort. It is anticipated
that agreements for such engineering services will be presented to the City Commission for its
consideration/approval within the next few months. The one-year extension of the agreement
with Geotech as referenced herein takes into consideration the services for various projects
which may extend up to twelve months. Staff does not think it necessary to approve additional
expenditures for Geotech’s services at this time. If the number and/or requirements of the
various projects for which these services are provided necessitate an increase in the level of
funding, it will be necessary to adjust the same accordingly at a future date.

the City Commission will hold a public hearing on an application for an Industrial Facilities
Exemption Certificate filed by Pridgeon & Clay, Inc.
Pridgeon & Clay, Inc., 50 Cottage Grove, SW, is a manufacturer of metal flanges, brackets,
hangers and dies for the automotive industries. The company was established in 1998 and
has grown to be one of Grand Rapids’ largest manufacturers with 689 employees.
This $8,928,711 equipment project includes a 1,500 ton and a 1,000 ton transfer press and
related equipment, welding cells, grinders, computers and controlling systems, and other
production equipment.
The project is expected to start in 2005 and be completed by 2006.
The personal property taxes for over 12 years is estimated at $1,183,000 of which $711,000
would be collected and $472,000 would be abated. The City’s portion of the above is
$214,000 of which $107,000 would be collected and $107,000 would be abated.

Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority Plan – Kelsey Limited Dividend Housing
Association Limited Partnership
Attached is a resolution to amend the Brownfield Redevelopment Plan to include property at
235 S. Division Avenue and 10, 12,14,16 Williams Street, S.W. owned by Kelsey Limited
Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership.
Kelsey Limited Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership (Kelsey LDHA LP), with
Dwelling Place, Inc. as the sponsoring organization is applying for the Single Business Tax
Credit for a major renovation project at 235 S. Division Ave., 10, 12, 14, 16 Williams St., SW.
The $3,297,580 project involves three buildings on one parcel. These buildings were
condemned by the City in 2003 and have remained vacant. Currently all electrical, HVA and
plumbing systems are nonfunctional. The building at 235 S. Division is a three-story wood and
brick structure with 11,081 sq. ft. The building at 10, 12 Williams Street is a two-story wood
and brick structure with 5,160 sq. ft. and 14, 16 Williams Street is a two –story wood and brick
structure with 5920 sq. ft.
The property will be redeveloped into a total of 22,161 sq. ft. mixed-use project consisting of 12
live/work apartments and approximately 2,450 sq. ft. of commercial space. The project will be
done in accordance with U.S. Department of Interior Guidelines.
The project includes the use of approximately $310,000 of City of Grand Rapids HOME funds,
a PILOT for the residential portion and the developer is applying for P.A. 146 Obsolete
Property Tax Abatement for the commercial portion of the project. The new taxes generated
by the commercial space are expected to be $3,400 per year of which $2,300 would be
collected and $1,100 would be abated per year when the project is approved for an Obsolete
Property Certificate. The developer expects to create up to 18 new jobs with six related to the
commercial space and 12 self-employed positions in the live/work units. Six new jobs can
provide up to $1,800 of new income tax per year. The project does not involve any tax
increment financing.
The Brownfield Authority has reviewed and is recommending this project to be included in the
Brownfield Redevelopment Plan. The public hearing was held on December 14, 2004.

Brownfield Plan Amendment for HP3 (Alticor Hotel)
Attached is a resolution for the City Commission to add property at 75 Campau to the
Brownfield Plan Amendment for property at 226 and 234 Pearl NW and 101 Campau NW. The
site is to be developed as a new 300+ room hotel by Alticor. The site is a “facility” and
therefore, qualifies as a Brownfield. The Plan was originally approved in June. However,
since that time the adjacent property has been added to the project and needs to be included
in the Brownfield Plan Amendment. A public hearing was held by the City Commission on
December 14, 2004.
There will be significant increased costs for this project because of the contamination at the
site and the unique location in urban Grand Rapids. The cost to remediate the contaminated
soil is estimated to be a range of $2.25 million to $5.85 million, depending on whether the soil
is solid waste or hazardous waste. There will also be significant increased costs for the
development of the hotel because of the unique location downtown, including the proximity to
the Grand River (special foundation requirements, floodwalls, vapor barrier for contamination
issues, waterproofing, etc.). Those increased costs are estimated at $2.5 million. Finally,
because of the unique urban location of the site, HP3 was required to pay a premium of
several million dollars for this particular parcel. In short, the increased costs attributable to
both the brownfield conditions and the unique location of the property easily exceed the
requested brownfield SBT credit.
The plan allows the developer to seek a Single Business Tax Credit of up to 10% on the
estimated $59 million in project costs. The project is in the DDA district and will not utilize tax
increment financing. It is expected that at least 250 jobs will be created and there will be
substantial economic benefit to Grand Rapids by enhancing our ability to attract convention
business.
The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority has reviewed the project and recommends its
approval to the City Commission.

SUBJECT:
December Update
1. Red Cross, Grand Rapids Public Schools, Rescue One, and GRFD smoke
detector initiative update. First phase was on Saturday November 20th in
the South East Community Association. Still in discussions to get Local
366 on board with the project.
2. After The Fire Initiative-after the fatal fire on Dayton SW, the department
went door to door and distributed fire safety material.
3. Recruit Class began November 29th. Captain Ron Tennant and Lieutenant
Lee Finlayson will be in charge of their training. Other specialty instructors
will be utilized also. The lack of a Training Division will add to the
challenge of training our recruit firefighters
4. The GRFD has begun the research phase to upgrade our self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) project. The current SCBA’s were first
purchased in 1983. We have received a FEMA grant that will pay for this
$600,000 project.
5. The restructuring of Fire Dispatch discussions will continue the first week
of December. Labor Relations has been in fact finding with GREIU and
Local 366 has been on vacation which delayed the process.
6. One of the new aerial ladder trucks is scheduled to go into service on
November 30th. It will be at our Leonard and Plymouth fire station.

multiplying the rate per foot by the number of feet the property owner has
fronting on the watermain used for local distribution. The front foot rate
shall be as follows:
(a)
Domestic User:
$45.00;
(b)
Commercial or Industrial User;
1. The same as a domestic user if the connection is made to a line
eight (8) inches or less in diameter.
2. For a line larger than eight (8) inches in diameter: $57.00.
This charge will be annually reviewed and may change to reflect the
current average cost of installation of local distribution lines.
(3)
If the City Commission shall determine that it is not advisable to collect the
front foot rate at the time of construction or connection (if not previously
paid at the time of construction), it may direct that the cost be borne
initially by the System and subsequently be collected from the property
owner in accordance with this Section.
(4)
Upon completion of construction or at the time connection is requested (if
this cost has not been paid at the time of construction), the City Engineer
shall certify to the City Comptroller the cost to be charged to the property
owner. The Comptroller shall in turn certify the amount thereof to the City
Treasurer. The City Treasurer shall bill the owner of the premises affected
advising him or her that unless the amount so billed is paid within thirty
(30) days from the date of mailing that the same shall be presented to the
City Commission at the first meeting thereof after the expiration of thirty
(30) days for assessment against said premises as a special assessment.
In the event the bill for such installation and connection is not paid within
thirty (30) days from the date said notice is mailed, the City Treasurer shall
report the same to the City Commission which shall examine the same
and if found by it to be correct shall confirm it as a special assessment
against the premises affected, at which time the City Commission shall
also direct the number of installments into which the same shall be
divided, and shall direct the City Assessor to extend the same upon the
tax roll as a special assessment in the manner provided in Chapter 10 of
this Code. All collection procedures for special assessments established
in Chapter 10 of this Code shall be applicable to assessments made
hereunder.
(5)
In lieu of the procedure above described, such installations and
connections may be made at the expense of the System when the owner
of the premises signs a written agreement agreeing to pay the expense of
such installation and connections upon terms agreeable to the City
Manager and that the unpaid balance shall constitute a lien upon his or
her property of the same character and subject to the same methods of
collection as prescribed for special assessments in Chapter 10 of this
Code."
"2.35 Integrated Water Connection Fee Schedule.

Except as otherwise provided in the immediately succeeding paragraph, the foregoing
integrated water connection base fee schedule for single-family and multi-family residential
dwelling units shall be adjusted upward and downward as follows: A single-family residential
dwelling unit located on a parcel containing twenty thousand (20,000) square feet shall pay the
applicable integrated connection fee in accordance with the forgoing schedule. When
determining the square footage of a residential parcel for the purposes of determining the
appropriate integrated connection fee, parcel size may be adjusted downward to take into
consideration such things as wetlands, lakes, streams and other unusual characteristics of the
parcel in accordance with policies approved from time to time by the Utility Advisory Board. To
the extent the size of a parcel, as adjusted, is greater than or less than twenty thousand
(20,000) square feet, one-half the applicable integrated connection fee will increase or
decrease by the same percentage increase or decrease in the parcel above or below twenty
thousand (20,000) square feet. In the case of multi-family residential dwellings, in order to
determine the size of the parcel assigned to each dwelling unit for purposes of calculating the
integrated connection fee to be paid by each multi-family residential dwelling unit, the total
square footage of the parcel, as adjusted, on which the multi-family residential dwelling is
located shall be divided by the total number of residential units. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this subsection, the integrated connection fee for a single-family residential
dwelling unit or multi-family residential dwelling unit shall not exceed four and one-half times
the applicable base integrated connection fee set forth in foregoing schedule.
There shall be no upward adjustment in the integrated water service connection fee
payable for a single-family residential dwelling unit connecting to the Water System if (a) each
of the following conditions are met (1) a building permit shall have been obtained, (2) the
dwelling unit shall have been constructed, and (3) a certificate of occupancy shall have been
issued prior to January 1, 2000 or (b) local building permit fees have been paid to the local
governmental unit prior to January 1, 2000 for a single-family residential dwelling unit to be
constructed on or after January 1, 2000. When connecting to the Water System, Users living
in or owning such single-family residential dwelling units shall pay the applicable base
integrated connection fee set forth in the Integrated Water Connection Base Fee Schedule
adjusted downward, if applicable, in accordance with the immediate preceding paragraph.
Effective January 1, 2005 and January 1 st of every year thereafter, the Integrated Water
Connection Base Fees shall be adjusted by a percentage, which is determined by the annual
change in the Consumer Price Index (the "index") calculated as follows:
(1)
The Consumer Price Index shall be that Index referred to as the Consumer Price
Index, US City Average, All Urban Consumers, published by the U.S.
Department of Labor-Bureau of Statistics ((1982-84)=100). In the event the
method of determining the Index is substantially altered, the basis for determining
the annual change thereafter shall be the Index which is most comparable to the
Index described above.
(2)
For the purpose of computing the percentage change each calendar year, the
Index for the month of August for the prior calendar year shall be subtracted from
the Index for the immediately-preceding August. The result so obtained (if
positive) shall be divided by the Index for the month of August for the prior
calendar year to obtain the percentage increase which shall be applied to the
then current Integrated Water Connection Base Fee Schedule to determine the
new calendar year schedule.
The foregoing Integrated Connection fee is due and payable at the time a User receives
a permit to connect to the Water System. A permit issued by the City to connect to the Water
System shall expire one hundred eighty (180) days from the date the permit was issued.
The user receiving services who applies for a larger water meter than the one presently
in service shall pay an Integrated Connection Fee which is the difference in cost between the
meter size in service and the one applied for in accordance with the Integrated Connection Fee
in effect at the time of application. No credit or rebate shall be made in the case of application
for a smaller meter size.
Existing commercial and industrial customers may request the installation of an
additional meter to measure water used solely for irrigation purposes. There shall be no
Integrated Connection Fee for the additional meter provided combined maximum capacity as
defined by the American Water Works Association Standards C700-90 and C702-92, as
amended, does not exceed the maximum capacity of the original meter. If the original
maximum capacity is exceeded, the customer shall pay as an Integrated Connection Fee the
difference between the fee for the original meter and what the fee would be if the maximum
capacities of all meters were totaled. The additional Integrated Connection Fee shall be based
upon the fees in effect at the time of installation of the additional meter.”
